MAGNIFICENT, PRIVATE RETREAT
Retreat to this magical country haven for the tree change of a lifetime! This wonderland property, on just a tad under 13 acres, offers a magnificent residence, built using solar passive design principles, with considered spaces, light filled rooms, and well positioned windows to make the most of the glorious views and provide comfortable living throughout the changing seasons. With north facing living areas, allowing the winter sun to warm you up on chilly days, and doors and windows facilitating cross flow breezes to cool you off in the summertime, this home is naturally climate controlled all year round.
The indoor spaces integrate seamlessly with the beautiful courtyards, outdoor entertaining areas and beautiful landscaping. Choose the ideal area to entertain depending on the weather and the time of day, the sunset deck with outdoor fire, the protected courtyard with outdoor dining area adjacent to the kitchen or a cup of tea outside your bedroom to watch the sun rise.
The use of stunning natural materials creates a truly bespoke home, with every stone individually hewn and placed by hand, the timbers chosen to reflect the light and create the welcoming warmth and character that makes you feel immediately at ease on entering. Each room exudes its own personality, reflecting a wealth of lived experience in the stunning Australian bush. With echoes of historic homes and rural town halls, which were once the focus of the local cultural events of the day, this 6 year old home reflects a sense of place, community and generational continuity rarely displayed in new homes.
The huge kitchen is the dream of any budding or proficient chef, with a double sized jarrah island bench, black enamel Euromaid double oven and 5 burner stove, terrazzo and jarrah benchtops, dishwasher nook, double sink and loads of storage. The feature timber ceiling and Australian Mahogany flooring brings a warmth and depth to the space. The adjacent laundry leads through to the fully lined double garage, which is finished so beautifully it could be used as an art or yoga studio.
A lot has been given to the parents’ wing of the home which comprises a fantastic, timber ceilinged bedroom with French doors leading out to the cottage gardens. There is a private sitting room or home office with its own entrance out to the side courtyard plus a massive walk in robe and absolutely spectacular en suite bathroom overlooking the grounds. The other three bedrooms sit at the opposite end of the house, all are queen sized and complete with built in robes. The main bathroom has a bath and separate shower.
Surrounded by established trees and gardens, extending to the far reaches of the property boundaries, there has been a real focus on the regeneration of habitat, creating homes for native flora and fauna to return and flourish in the rich natural surrounds. There is 130,000 litres of rainwater tank storage as well as a magnificent dam which fills during the winter months and attracts a plethora of wildlife. There are veggie gardens, the massive berry patch provides delicious additions to any dessert, there are loads of established fruit trees and a cosy chicken coop for the girls to nest and lay. The giant workshop offers space for vehicles, boats, and projects.
